Leicester post match thread

Absolutely it is as it is with the Barca's and Real Madrid's of this world.

You play well and get on top of them and they dive and allow the ref to stop you in your tracks and basically fucking cheat.

Unbelievable that a few on here think that's the sort of pragmatism we need to show.

Yep. Ask any match going red and they'll tell you they've been bored shitless watching that kind of shit.

And Bert Trautmann, and, of course, Dave Ewing.

I watched the highlights and thought that with Shinner Nagasaki's goal, Trautmann would have caught it one handed with his left!

He was my hero - at the time - would have caught it with his left boot- he was that good.
Do you remember - 'Pull up at Dave's- ?- Solid as they come.
 
Ref watch on Sky Dermott Gallagher broke down the 4 points of the law that could effect an offside decision on Silvas goal,,said only point 3 could possibly apply, did it effect the opponents ability to play the ball ,concluded that it didn't,niether Fuchs or the keeper moved, and the goal was fair
Then Phil Thompson pipes up with ,I thought all four applied,im flabbergasted,went on and on for ages
Thompson didnt offer an opinion on the clear elbow in the face,then handball for a penalty for the Hammers game, wasnt asked for it

I agree with you 100 per cent blue...ref let them dirty fuckers kick shit out of us and gave us fuck all but couldn't wait to give free kicks against us.
It's cheating but done very craftily and Pep needs to start making a shit storm so they think twice about it...can you imagine the GPC letting it happen and no comebacks on the ref...no fucking chance.
We did well to dig in and overcome the 12 men

Some of you guys at this stage seem to be developing a persecution complex about refs. Practically every ref in the country is a cheat and or incompetent and arrives armed with an agenda. The fact is we have not had a great season because we really are not that good at present. Hopefully we can finish 3rd regroup and do better next year

The problem is, even if the the referee's aren't cheating they certainly aren't treating both teams fairly, and it's blatant. Half the time they don't even try and cover it up. When a player enters the field of play expecting the referee to screw us over at some point during the game it must effect the way they play; not in terms of their ability to stick the ball in the net, but the certainly in the combative side of the game. Silva gets kicked the s**t out of him from the first to the last with nothing from the ref, but one of ours puts in a hard but fair challenge and the w**ker with the whistle can't wait to get a card out.
 
Just watching the game back, seems even one of our own Andy Hinchcliffe as co commentator is reading from the Sky script. Seems he saw that Sterling "Very possibly got a touch there. City have got away with that one"
 
Watching the replays, thought the ref got most things in the highlights spot on to be fair.
Sterling was not impeding either keeper or defender (who had already shifted his weight away from that direction with no contact from Sterling) and neither of them had any chance of getting within a yard of the ball even if they had been travelling that way to begin.

Their peno - yep, can totally accept that being given, and as for the 'stupid law that should be changed' - suck it up Alan, it's a law there for good reason, perhaps originally a slightly different envisaged manifestation of the outcome, but it still effectively performed its role admirably - preventing the taker from gaining an unfair advantage due to taking multiple touches before the shooting attempt. The fact that the taker is unlucky/poor enough to fall foul of that law in some novel way is their issue. It prevented an unfair advantage from happening, case closed.
